Pro Open rider duties will be handled by former Pro Motorcoss/Supercross rider Mick Cook while Joel Evans will ride in the 150sx and 250sxf classes. Australian Junior Champion Jesse Dobson will ride in the 150sx and 85cc classes while Shannon Dobson will focus on the smaller on 85cc & 65cc classes.
The team will also be importing an AMA rider from the USA, Richie Leech will race the 2010 SuperX lites class.
Cook is set to compete in the Fink Desert Race and the World FIM's Vets championship held in the USA. Cook has just returned from the USA where he placed 6th in his class, racing against the likes of former AMA Champion Ryan Hughes. Cook was running an impressive 3rd until the last race where he went down and injured his wrist. The team has achieved some great results in the 2009 season and with the ongoing support from all their sponsorers they are looking to do even better in 2010.
The entire team would like to say a big thank you to all involved, Shell, RXT, Pro Griffin, KTM, Mongrel Graphics, Kwala, MPE, Goodrich, Mossy, Forma, Zac Speed, Voice, Ashes Spoked Wheels, Scott, Tag, Michelin, DVS, Pryme, Mooloolaba Ink, Blokesworld, Steg Pegs, Abus Locks and TKP.
